Jesse, it sounds like your "furred family" is increasing, too!
Congratulations on the babies! Perhaps the little ones will be
pre-conditioned to surviving the colder temperatures of the winter being
born in fall?
We've had a couple of nights in the mid-30's too. Frost threatened twice,
so far, but seemed to evade our lot. The leaves are just starting to turn
nicely. It should be a beautiful fall. I would like it to warm up for
just a couple of weeks to get gardening jobs finished and the puppies well
on their way to being housebroken. (Well, I can dream, can't I? It's a
real job just scooping output from 9 puppies! It's a never ending job right
now, but they are all so sweet, cute and funny! I dressed a couple up in a
"boo" sweater for photos for their soon to be new families. They got a real
charge out of the photos. One wanted to buy the sweater, but like I told
her--the sweater won't fit in another 3 days or so! I guess it is worth it
playing "pooper scooper for another 3 weeks. ;>D)
Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

It got down to 38 Saturday and Sunday morning here. Brrrrrrr. And we had
twin goats born Saturday morning. They picked a cold morning to be born.
We went down and wrapped them up and put a heat lamp in there.

Me, too. The same cold front arrived here late this morning, and now I am
so sleepy I can hardly keep my eyes open. Guess it's some gene memory of
hibernating. It's supposed to go down to the 40's tonight. I am NOT ready
for this; it's way too early. My Confederate Rose (Hibiscus mirabilis) is in
full, glorious bloom as is the Lespedeza thunbergii. I am not ready for
them to croak just yet, thank you very much. We shouldn't be having frost
until
sometime next month. (She said hopefully.)
